Match Summary:
Date: 24-Dec-2011
Ground: NFC Sports Club
Teams: Polaris vs ZenTech
Toss won by - 'ZenTech' and opted for fielding.
Polaris Innings:
It's a green top wicket having over night dew by the time match was started. Good toss to win by ZenTech and rightly opted for fielding first. 'Polaris' openers(Susheel & Praveen) started the innings keeping the conditions in view. Both have good understanding between them, while Praveen taking the charge..Susheel kept rotating the strike. They scored 28 runs in the first power play. Later, there were few(3) good overs bowled by 'Zentech' with the introduction of Ram into attack. 'Polaris' crossed 50 runs mark in the 8th over of the innings. The aggressive innings of Praveen(28 runs in 20 balls) has come to an end with a good work by 'ZenTech' bowler making him runout. Susheel & Praveen scored 54 runs for the first wicket. Another wicket gone for 'Polaris' in the 10th over when 'Ram' dismissed 'Madhu'. 'Polaris' were 63/2 after 10 overs. There, Ratna joined with Susheel and Susheel took the game under his control. Susheel played some tremendous shots and while Ratna(14 runs) picking up the gaps well. 'Polaris' was in a good position with 110/2 at 15 overs and expecting to score more runs with the wickets in hand. Now, it was the turn of 'Ram' of 'Zentech' who not only stopped runs but, took 2 wickets each in his last 2 overs(16th & 18th). Ram, so far had a wonderful tournament with the ball. Finished his five-wicket hall (5/10 in 4 overs) which includes well settled Susheel's wicket too. Susheel(62 runs in 54 balls) scored another half-century in the tournament. Ram was well supported by Suman(2/29 runs in 4 overs) from the other end, who took 2 wickets and did an excellent runout in his follow thru. At that stage, 'Polaris' was into trouble having score 123/9. But, Arun(10 runs) took most of the strike and added 17 valuable runs for last wicket ensuring no further loss to the team. Finally , 'Polaris' managed to score 140/9 in 20 overs .
ZenTech Innings:
As mentioned earlier, still there was a little bit of green grass remained after an innings. The two quickies of 'Polaris', Degula & Arun made use of the wicket and gave a brilliant start to the team. Both were exceptional and literally unplayable in the initial overs. By the time batsmen realized the situation, damage was done. The process went in this way...Degula took the wicket for the first ball of the innings and 'ZenTech' were 0/1 after first over. 2nd over was bowled by Arun and his in-swinging deliveries dominated the batsmen and he took 3 wickets in that dream over. 'ZenTech' were 6/4 after 2 overs and all those runs coming in extras. In the 3rd over, Degula took 2 more wickets..one being a beautiful catch taken by Madhu in the first slip. 'ZenTech' were 11/6 after the 3rd over. Srinivas and Shiva steadied the innings for some time before Shiva(10 runs) was made out by Arun in his last over of the spell. Ratna and Chandra were into bowling attack(both didn't played after the 4th league match) and onto target right from the beginning. Ratna took a wicket in the 9th over..stumped made by Susheel. Suman chipped in with few runs(10) before being bowled by Chandra. Chandra closed the 'ZenTech' innings by taking the wicket of Srinivas..who stayed at the wicket for long time and played(18 runs) a respectable innings. Once again, Arun led the bowling department from front with his excellent bowling(4/11 in 4 overs) and equally supported by Degula(3/11 in 3 overs), followed by Chandra(2/11 in 2.1 overs) and Ratna (1/19 in 4 overs). 'ZenTech ' were allout for 58 runs in 14.1 overs.
First of all credit goes to the 'Polaris' opening batting pair (Susheel & Praveen) for giving a much deserved start for the team on a lush green wicket. Next, to the opening bowling pair who turned the match in almost no time to their team side by sticking to the basics and fully using the new ball. Ram of 'ZenTech' is also terrific with ball which made 'Polaris' to loose 7 wickets just for 13 runs in a span of 3.3 overs.
'Polaris' won the match by 82 runs.
Arun won the 'Man of the match' for his outstanding bowling performance(4/11 in 4 overs) and handy in batting (10 runs n.o) too.

With some extras and byes wipro could manage to score 17 runs in 1st over.Otherend Sai bowled his first spell to perfection by conceding 7 runs in 3 overs with 1 wicket of Ramakanth. Debut bowler Pavan bowled meticulously( 13 runs in 4 overs) with variation in pace and tight line.
The Duo Rajesh(25 runs) and Manish steadied the innings for few overs.( 55/3 in 10 overs). Just when rajesh was looking good with his bat, he was given LBW out for a pullshot where the ball kept little low than he anticipated hitting his right thigh.
Veteran leg break bowler "Madhav" who took 2 quick wickets in his 1st over caused some damage to wipro batting order at that stage
Manish who looked fluent in making 35 added some crucial runs in last overs and Wipro managed to get 27 runs in last 3 overs. and overall scoring 127/8 in 20 Overs.
With target as 128 on board,'IBM'couldnt start well as they lost their in-form batsman "Aquib" in 1st over who was bowled out to Left Arm pace bowler "Ganga". 1 down batsman 'Raju' was also unlucky as he was caught out by 'Ramakanth' who took a brilliant catch in covers. Next set of the batsmans who tried to score some runs couldnt manage to keep the score board ticking and were sent back to pavilion early.
Skipper savi who tried to go for some shots was caught out at gully region scoring 13 runs. some good overs bowled by Ganga ,Gopal, Arun restricted IBM batsmans to score any boundaries at that stage (35/5 in 10 overs). It was apparent to the spectators that match will be won by Wipro.

IBM had to score 12 runs in final over and bowler Sahoo bowled couple of wide deliveries, Batsman "Sher" connected every ball well, both naren and Sher took risky singles with good running between the wickets and IBM had to score 3 runs in last 1 ball.
"Sher" hit the last ball towards the cover region and after slight misfield by fielder 2nd run was taken quickly, finally scores were equal. Commendable performance at the end by "Sher" and "Naren" who kept their whole hearted efforts to make IBM win.
As the scores were leveled,Umpires decided for super over and IBM had to bat first. Wipro Left Arm Pacer 'Ganga'who bowled good spell in the entire match, struggled little with his line and gave some extras in initial deliveries "Aquib" smashed couple of deliveries to boundary on the square legside and at other end "Pavan" who was in good form rotated strike, giving chance to "Aquib" to score the maximum. IBM finally scored 18 runs in 1 over.
With target 19 on board, Wipro batsmans "Ramakanth" and "Mohit" were sent to crease. IBM team decided to handover the charge to "Pavan", who bowled couple of wide balls initially and wipro batsmans could manage to just take singles every ball.

NCR finished HSCL2 with style.
Match Summary:
Date: 18-Dec-2011
Ground: Swamy Narayan Gurukul
Teams: NCR Vs Siemens
Siemens Batting: 113/9 in 20 overs.
NCR opened the bowling attack witha magical spell from Suryavir in-swinging & out-swinging the ball this time round making the batsman think twice before attempting to play.Suryavir claimed his first wicket of a magnificent in-swinging delivery hitting the mid-wicket getting the Siemens opener bowled.Sandeep who stepped in-next didn't last long and was bowled for an excellent delivery by Kranthi where the bail flew near to 30yrd circle. Manish who stepped played diligently and slowly started to build the partnership.However,he didn't last long and was run out for an excellent throw from Venkata Subbaiah from Square Leg when he attempted for a tight second run.Tulasi didn't last long and was out for a full toss for an easy catch to Keeper.
Vignesh who stepped in-next continued to support to Nayeem(Opener) who played the anchor role putting odd balls to boundaries. They started to build the partnership and kept the scoreboard ticking.Siemens were at 80/4 at the end of 15 overs.Suryavir was brought back to attack and took his second wicket of Nayeem(36 runs) with a spectacular catch from Sateesh at mid-wicket. Azhar & Vignesh continued to rotate the strike and Azhar giving a "go" at the balls. However,Vignesh was run-out due to improper calling for a well made 28 runs.NCR bowler's didn't allow the Siemens tail-enders to open-up and made Siemens work hard to score. Siemens managed to score a respectable total of 113/9 at the end of 20 overs.There were 4 runouts in the Siemens innings and some good catches taken from NCR fielding department giving only 13 extras off 20 overs was an exceptional performance.
NCR Bowling:
Suryavir - 3/11(4 overs) & Kranthi - 1/19(4 overs) were impressive.
NCR Batting: 114/6 in 14.3 overs.
Game Plan:-
========= NCR huddle has come-up with a Strategy to go for "Victory" ----> Semis which require chasing down the total in ~10 overs. This would be as a result of "Tie" in Points with ZenTech where "NRR" comes into picture for deciding the Semis Qualifier for 4th Position.
NCR opened the innings with Srujan and Sateesh with Srujan taking the strike.The first ball was a boundary literally knocking the doors of "Semis" Compartment.It was the strategy to go after the bowling in the Initial 5 overs to fetch as many runs as possible. The very next ball was a wicket where the ball kept low and Srujan was Plumb in-front. Uday who stepped in-next started playing on Gear-3 right from the beginning where NCR hut started to Smell "Semis" berth........
Sateesh too did hit few boundaries respecting the good balls.His little cameo came to end when he was bowled for a fullish delivery from Azhar.Sateesh scored 16 runs(3 fours).Uday didn't step down the gear and continued to accelerate in the same manner.His Sweep shot six of Nayeem's bowling which went high and also covered enough territory clearing the deep mid-wicket was treat watching. He decided to go after the bowling;however he couldn't succeed to clear the second time and was caught at long-on. Uday scored 35 runs(4 fours 1 six) off just 19 balls.There were hopes of finishing the match within 10 overs & NCR started to believe they are "through" when Uday was going after the Siemens attack.
NCR was 57/3 at the end of 7 overs. Kranthi stepped in-next was out of the very second ball plumb in-front.Pradeep stepped in-next to keep the scoring rate high as NRR will be decider for the match.Pradeep and Reddy were at crease to win the match for NCR as quickly as possible.Reddy was plumb in-front of the very second ball and NCR was at 71/5 at the end of 9 overs. Naveen C who stepped in at 6th wicket played sensibly and continued to support Pradeep to win the match for NCR.Naveen C and Pradeep put up a good partnership for 6th wicket and took NCR almost home with ample overs remaining. Pradeep tried to clear the fence of Nayeem's bowling to finish the formalities for NCR and was caught at deep mid wicket.Pradeep scored 18 runs(2 fours; 1 six). Prasad stepped in next to finish the winning runs for NCR and Naveen C remained not out with a well made 20 runs(2 fours).
Result: NCR won the match by 4 wickets.
Man of the Match: Nayeem from Siemens for scoring 36 runs and claiming 1 wicket.
Even though NCR won the match against Siemens the "NET RUN RATE" was not good enough to overtake "ZenTech".
ZenTech & NCR stood at 12 points and ZenTech occupied the 4th slot with slightly better NRR compared to NCR.
Zen Players watched the match closely and relaxed only after the 10th over. :-)
Hence the Semis matches for HSCL-II are Polaris Vs. Zen ; IBM Vs. Wipro
Trianz,Siemens will occupy the 6th & 7th Slots and Honeywell at the bottom with 4 points.
It was 0.45 NRR which made the difference between the 4th slot and 5th slot.
NCR finished the HSCL-II in 5th slot and accolades from HSCL Management and also the Umpires regarding the Spirit Shown on-field, Commitment and Cricketing attitude.NCR was considered as best bowling team where appreciations given from all HSCL Participant teams.
It was NCR's first participation in HSCL and finished off in 5th position where it lost the "Semis" berth by 0.45 NRR."NCR was close yet so far". Congratulations for NCR Squad for putting up a great performance in all the 7 matches where it entered the Tournament as "Under dogs" and almost occupying the "Semis berth".........
NCR had sweet memories in HSCL-II w.r.t "Highest Successful run chase in HSCL History against Honeywell" ; "Last Ball Six against Wipro"; "Neck-to-Neck Semis-fight Successful Run Chase against Siemens". There were close matches with Trianz and Zen but NCR landed on other side of Victory & good fight with IBM & Polaris teams. NCR Bowler "Suryavir Singh" will grab the Orange Cap from NCR and will be in the list competing for the "Best Bowler of the Tournament" award for HSCL-II taking 15 wickets in just 6 matches which is an Outstanding Performance.NCR is becoming a Competitive team w.r.t Corporate Cricket Standards and will try to move further heights in next Edition of HSCL.

Polaris remained unbeaten
Match Summary:
Date: 17-Dec-2011
Ground: Swamy Narayan Gurukul
Teams: Polaris vs Trianz
Toss won by - 'Polaris' and opted for batting.
Polaris Innings:
'Polaris' openers gave a flying start by scoring 42 runs in first power play overs. But, Srikanth struck twice in the 5th over by dismissing Praveen(13 runs) and in-form Madhu. Susheel and Arun played cautiously and 'Polaris' were 73/2 after 10 overs. Both added 46 runs for the 3rd wicket before Hari bowled Arun(19 runs) in 13th over. Once again, Srikanth did some more damage in the 15th over where Polaris lost 2 more wickets(one being runout). 'Polaris' were struggling for runs at that moment..103/5 after 15 overs. Srikanth finished his dream spell(3/11). Susheel(50 runs in 48 balls) fell after his maiden half-century in the tournament and was brilliant in utilizing the opportunities in right way. Scored 8x4s in his valuable innings. Once Susheel departed, Jaweed's runs hunt started. Jaweed's blazing innings(24 runs in 18 balls) consisted of 3 fours and a six over mid-wicket fence. Sreedhar(1/27) and Hari(2/22) were impressive in bowling. Finally , 'Polaris' managed to score 151/9 in 20 overs .
Trianz Innings:
A quick start from 'Trianz' too by scoring 41 runs in 5 overs. Both, Sajith and Srikanth were fluent in stroke making and sent the ball to all corners of the ground. Especially, Srikanth looked dangerous but couldn't stand for long. His innings(34 runs in 21 balls) came to an end when stumped by Stalin in Praveen's bowling. Praveen took another wicket in his 2nd over leaving 'Trianz' at 68/2 after 10 overs. Sajith at other steadied the innings with Anand and continued it with Kalyan(after Anand was retired hurt for some time). Sajith played medium-pacers and spinners equally well and his foot work was very good throughout the innings. Kalyan(13 runs) hit a six over deep-mid wicket in Susheel's bowling but was bowled by him in next over. Then, Anand came back for batting and there, 'Trianz' requires 47 runs to win in last 5 overs having 7 wickets in hand. But, the 16th over bowled by Niranjan spoiled the hopes of Trianz as he made out both Sajith(30 runs with 5x4s) and Anand(16 runs with 3x4s) also conceded just 3 runs in that over. Having required run rate at 11 per over, Trianz batsmen tried their best by hitting the odd balls to boundaries. But, the runout of Shankar narrowed the chances of win for 'Trianz'. During the same time Arun collapsed Trianz innings by taking 4 wickets in a span of 9 balls. Arun led the bowling department from front with his excellent bowling(4/23 in 3.3 overs), followed by Niranjan(2/17 in 4 overs), Praveen(2/24 in 4 overs) and Susheel (1/27 in 4 overs). 'Trianz ' were allout for 134 runs in 19.3 overs.
Match is evenly poised till the end and a good fight from Trianz till the last ball. Match has seen some excellent individual performances from both the teams. Classic batting by Susheel & Sajith and powerful strokes from Srikanth & Jaweed. Couple of hits by Srikanth & Jaweed went miles out of the boundary. Also, wonderful bowling by Arun, Niranjan & Srikanth. Excellent catches taken by Srikanth, Mahesh & Susheel and a sparkling stump by Stalin. Polaris had a good match before the Semi-finals.
'Polaris' won the match by 17 runs.
Susheel earned 'Man of the match' for his brilliant batting( 50 runs), handy in bowling ( 1/27 in 4 overs ) too and took an excellent catch in the field.

Sajith at other steadied the innings with Anand and continued it with Kalyan(after Anand was retired hurt for some time). Sajith played medium-pacers and spinners equally well and his foot work was very good throughout the innings. Kalyan(13 runs) hit a six over deep-mid wicket in Susheel's bowling but was bowled by him in next over. Then, Anand came back for batting and there, 'Trianz' requires 47 runs to win in last 5 overs having 7 wickets in hand. But, the 16th over bowled by Niranjan spoiled the hopes of Trianz as he made out both Sajith(30 runs with 5x4s) and Anand(16 runs with 3x4s) also conceded just 3 runs in that over. Having required run rate at 11 per over, Trianz batsmen tried their best by hitting the odd balls to boundaries. But, the runout of Shankar narrowed the chances of win for 'Trianz'. During the same time Arun collapsed Trianz innings by taking 4 wickets in a span of 9 balls. Arun led the bowling department from front with his excellent bowling(4/23 in 3.3 overs), followed by Niranjan(2/17 in 4 overs), Praveen(2/24 in 4 overs) and Susheel (1/27 in 4 overs). 'Trianz ' were allout for 134 runs in 19.3 overs.
Match is evenly poised till the end and a good fight from Trianz till the last ball. Match has seen some excellent individual performances from both the teams. Classic batting by Susheel & Sajith and powerful strokes from Srikanth & Jaweed. Couple of hits by Srikanth & Jaweed went miles out of the boundary. Also, wonderful bowling by Arun, Niranjan & Srikanth. Excellent catches taken by Srikanth, Mahesh & Susheel and a sparkling stump by Stalin. Polaris had a good match before the Semi-finals.
'Polaris' won the match by 17 runs.
Susheel earned 'Man of the match' for his brilliant batting( 50 runs), handy in bowling ( 1/27 in 4 overs ) too and took an excellent catch in the field.

Week 6 – Honeywell Vs Siemens
Date: 11/12/2011
Match Summary:
Background – Honeywell having lost 5 matches in a row was playing for pride. The match was very crucial to ZEN, Wipro and Siemens as they were battling for 3rd and 4th slot.

Further Honeywell came up with impressive bowling by Pavan and Ragavendra, sticking to bowling within line and with variations which had made the batsman choke for runs and ended up dismissing the top order and middle order batsman. Tulasi (Siemens) was hanging around with some lustly blows as he was witnessing the batting collapse at the other end. At the end of 11 over Siemens was 7 down for a score of 84 runs. Srini (Honeywell) was introduced in to the bowling attack in 12th over which had Tulasi (Siemens) caught by Rakesh in mid on due to a miss hit.
